Reflection
Reflection

In a geography class, my teacher told me that due to global warming and rising water levels, many cities and regions will no longer exist. This has caused me to think that if the sea level continues to rise, one day, human beings will lose their homes for survival, and many civilizations will disappear forever. So I drew this picture. In the painting, the ecological balance is transformed into an unbalanced libra. The left plate sinks slightly, and there is a pearl representing money and desire in the plate; the right plate tilts slightly upward, and in the plate is a candle representing hope and warmth. The monster dragons around represent malicious people. The climate crisis is a problem for all mankind. People have become more and more aware of the importance of climate. I will also do my best to promote the consequences of rising water levels to my classmates, and do my best to protect our homes.
